The 26-year-old last played in the NHL for Columbus during the 2014-15 season. He spent all of last year with AHL Hartford (Rangers' affiliate), where he scored 12 goals and 29 points in 59 games. He's a long shot to make the team out of training camp. Wed, Sep 21, 2016 10:43:00 PM

Adam was recalled on an emergency basis Monday when the Blue Jackets had a slew of possible injuries but was returned on Saturday. The former Sabre was acquired from Buffalo in December for Jerry D'Amigo and played three games this week, picking up a couple of minors. Sun, Mar 15, 2015 07:49:00 AM

Monahan has recorded five assists over that span. He's up to 27 goals and 55 points in 59 contests this season. At this rate he should comfortably surpass his career-high of 63 points set in 2015-2016.

The Calgary Flames have signed Mikael Backlund to a six-year contract extension worth a total of $32.1 million.

That comes out to an annual average value of $5.35 million. The 28-year-old has scored 20 goals in back-to-back seasons, but he's on pace to score 14 this year. He posted career highs in goals (22) and points (53) during the 2016-17 season. Backlund has 10 goals and 34 points in 58 games this season. He's a strong two-way player, but his upside in standard fantasy leagues is incredibly limited. "Me and my fiancée Frida, we’ve put our roots down here and it’s our home," Backlund said, according to beat reporter Wes Gilbertson. "We’re just so excited to stay here. I’ve been through some tough times here and some good times, and now I’m very excited because the team is only going to get better. The mission here is just to win. That’s what I like about the organization. All they want to do is just win that Cup and that’s what I’m very excited about it. I’m very looking forward to these years."

Flames coach Glen Gulutzan's decision to make Mark Jankowski a healthy scratch on Saturday was for the sake of sending a message.

"It’s a wakeup," Gulutzan said. "But I’ll be honest with you — it was not easy with (Jankowski) not in the lineup. When he’s playing his game, we’re just a better team." Jankowski is still just 23-years-old so this kind of development isn't too surprising and from the sounds of things, Jankowski should be back in the lineup on Tuesday. He's not a factor in most fantasy leagues at this time though as he has eight goals and 15 points in 43 games this season.

Gaudreau saw his eight-game point streak come to an end on Saturday, but this gives him at least a point in nine of his last 10 contests. He has 19 goals and 69 points in 60 games in 2017-18. He's in a three-way tie with Connor McDavid and Claude Giroux for third place in the NHL while Evgeni Malkin is just ahead of him at 70 points. Nikita Kucherov has a comfortable lead on the pack at the moment with his 77 points.

Kris Versteeg (hip) was on the ice in full equipment before practice on Monday.

Versteeg has been sidelined since Nov. 24 due to a hip injury. This is an encouraging sign and the next step will be to rejoin the Flames for practices, but that isn't expected to happen for a few weeks.

Lomberg registered a the primary assist on a goal scored by Curtis Lazar. Lomberg was playing in his third career NHL games. He also has 14 points and 84 penalty minutes in 37 AHL contests this season.

Frolik, who played in his 700th career game earlier in the week, is up to 19 points with eight goals this season after assisting on both of Matthew Tkachuk's third period goals as the Flames came back to beat the Islanders 3-2. He has little fantasy value at this time.

Ferland registered an assist in the Flames' 3-2 overtime win against Chicago on Tuesday. He's up to 20 goals and 33 points in 52 contests in 2017-18. He's already well beyond his previous career-high of 25 points.

Dougie Hamilton scored three goals in a 6-3 loss to the Florida Panthers on Saturday night.

Hamilton became the fifth defenseman in Calgary Flames history to record a hat-trick Saturday, scoring a goal in each period of Saturday night's loss to the Panthers. The 24-year-old blueliner appeared in his 400th career game. Hamilton now has 13 goals and 34 points in 59 contests this season.

Brodie kept that run going by registering an assist in Calgary's 4-3 loss to the Rangers Friday night. He now has three goals and 27 points in 55 games this season. That puts him just nine points away from his 2016-17 finish.

It's Family Day in Alberta and Hamonic will celebrate by bring in his family including his mom, from his home province of Manitoba. "I think it means more to them than it does for me, honestly," Hamonic said. "My family, they’ve watched the whole way. They’ve lived and breathed it with me every step of the way. So I think for them, it’s maybe more of a celebratory milestone." Hamonic has a goal and eight points in 55 games with 55 penalty minutes. He should be on the waiver wire at this time unless you need his minutes in traditional pools.

Michael Stone posted a goal and a plus-1 rating in Tuesday's 3-2 victory in Chicago.

Stone also tacked on three hits and three blocked shots to finish with a very productive night, but not many fantasy owners noticed. He entered the game with no points over the past 28 outings dating back to Nov. 28 against Toronto. It was also his first point of the season away from home. Despite the big game, fantasy owners will need to see more points in the next few games before trusting him again.

Matt Bartkowski will be a healthy scratch in Thursday's game against the Nashville Predators.

Bartkowski has no goals, one assist and a minus-3 rating in 14 games this season. This will be the sixth consecutive game he watches from the press box. Marek Hrivik will also serve as a healthy scratch in this one.

Gillies will serve as David Rittich's backup on Tuesday night because Mike Smith is out due to injury. Gillies has a 14-12-2 record with a 2.61 goals-against average and .915 save percentage at the AHL level this year.
